Apr. 6, 2025 - Sunday Spotlight - I am the True Vine

In this powerful message, we're invited to explore Jesus' final 'I am' statement in the Gospel of John: 'I am the true vine.' This imagery offers profound insights into our relationship with God and our role in the world. We learn that God, as the vine grower, is intimately involved in shaping who we are, constantly pruning and nurturing us to become our best selves. The vine, Jesus himself, is our source of strength and sustenance. When we truly abide in Christ, allowing Him to abide in us, we tap into a power far beyond our own capabilities. This connection empowers us to bear fruit - to share God's love with a world desperately in need. As we journey through Lent, let's reflect on how we can more fully abide in Christ, drawing our strength from Him, and allowing His love to flow through us to others.
